You are right. The code is un-necessarily disabling all pwms while trying to
enable the clock for those which are not enabled also.

It may not be required as pwms which are not enabled do not have
their clocks enabled. Hence, perhaps we can do following,

8<---------------------------
static int spear_pwm_remove(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
struct spear_pwm_chip *pc = platform_get_drvdata(pdev);
int i;

if (WARN_ON(!pc))
return -ENODEV;

for (i = 0; i < NUM_PWM; i++) {
struct pwm_device *pwm = &pc->chip.pwms[i];

if (test_bit(PWMF_ENABLED, &pwm->flags)) {
spear_pwm_writel(pc, i, PWMCR, 0);
clk_disable(pc->clk);
}
}

/* clk was prepared in probe, hence unprepare it here */
clk_unprepare(pc->clk);
return pwmchip_remove(&pc->chip);
}

---------------------------->8
